: [dripping with sarcasm] "So, Richard ... how many books did you sell this week?"

: "Oh, I dunno ... maybe 3 or 4, but, we also sold some wampum stuff, a dream catcher ... oh, and a couple pair of earrings."

: "Earrings? What the heck do EARRINGS have to do with 'The Last of the Mohicans'?"

: "Well, we sell replicas of the earrings Uncas & Chingachgook wore in the movie."

: [with a dumbfounded shrug] "Huh? Who are they?"

: "They're main characters in the story. People want them."

: "Hmmmmm .... So, what do they do? Ask you if you have the earrings Chingahwa wore?" [roars of laughter]

: "Hey, Jim ... did you hear Rich is writing a sequel?"

: "Oh yeah ... THAT'S sure to make the best seller list! I heard Daniel Day has a restraining order on him!"

: "Really!"

: "Yep, and the sequel ... well, it turns out it's not really a sequel. Freak Richard searched his soul ... decided upon the title, 'Just Danny'!" [roars of laughter]

: And so it goes ...

: Ok, now folks ... it's REALLY getting close to sign up time for the Fourth Annual Great Mohican Gathering! Though not yet available, the forms are pretty much ready to go ... just a couple of details need to be plugged in. We made some minor updates to the 2001 Gathering Page. We'd recommend that you take the time to read it over carefully before signing up. For those with an aversion to mouse-clicking, we quote a bit of it here:

: HOW TO SIGN ON: Simple! Let us know, once we begin taking reservations on February 1, 2001. We will have an online reservation form. Fill it out, enclose any necessary fees, and mail it to the appropriate party. We must limit attendance (exact number not yet determined) and so must accept reservations on a first-come, first-served basis. Get ready NOW! DEADLINE: WHENEVER WE FILL UP OR MAY 20, 2001, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST! AFTER THAT TIME, WE CAN ONLY SQUEEZE YOU IN IF THERE IS A CANCELLATION. PLEASE, SIGN-UP EARLY!

: OUR REFUND POLICY: Refunds are a hassle & no fun for anyone. Please be sure you will be able to attend before signing on. However, should the worst happen, we will grant refunds, if the request is made on or before May 20, 2001! Due to the refund policy of the facilities we are working with, refund is limited to 90%. Before signing on, please be thoroughly familiar with ALL the information on this page! If it sounds palatable, and you've got the money & time, by all means, do SIGN UP!

: As we promised a couple of weeks back, we have uploaded the first installment of what will be a continuing report from Fort William Henry ...

: Many other updates & revisions around the place as well ...

: New DVD released this week!

: E-Mail of the Week: [this is REAL, folks!]

: "My Dearest Richard,
:
: I'm writing you this brief note out of concern for your mental health. (WHAT KIND OF WACK JOB ARE YOU???) No I won't read Daniel Day Lewis's letter you pathetic loser, And since we are at it. I still think the Dallas Cowboys suck.
: Give my warmest regards to your lovely and talented bride. And many sweet juicy kisses to your 28 children.
:
:
: Forever Yours,"

: Like I said, and so it goes ...

: Ever wonder what you were doing here?

: Happy Trails ... till next time ...

Hi Richard,

Good grief!! I'd say the 'wacko' is the one on the sending side of that email! If this is an example of the nonsense you have to put up with from time to time, I wouldn't blame you for getting totally fed up with it! Always remember though, that your extended Mohican family will always appreciate and support your efforts. Email like this is what the delete key was made for...hit it and forget it!

...Jeri
